Abe Kislevitz graced us with a new edit with some funny clips from throughout the year. Even when we’re not skiing and boarding our team is having a blast. This is just part one so get ready for some more shenanigans from the USC ski team.
Here is another edit from the last weeks of footage from last year. Thanks Abe!
What’s up everyone? Hope everyone had a great summer and had a great time at the welcome back party. We have had a lot of people interested in joining ski team this year and are super stoked to have some new members. For all the people interested in joining the team we will have an informational meeting on Tuesday August 31st at 8pm on McCarthy quad on “the hill”. After the meeting, registration for new members begins both in person and online. There are a ton of people looking to join this year so the sooner you can register the better as the team will be capped at 100 people and returning members will have priority. We can’t wait to have some new members and look forward to seeing all those interested on Tuesday. If for some reason you are super interested but cannot make it to the meeting then please contact one of the officers in the next few days. See you guys Tuesday and get excited for another awesome year in mammoth.

This video is a culmination of powder shots from all of 2010 thus far. It has been one of the snowiest seasons Mammoth has seen in years. We are usually seen in the park but with a season like this, we’ve gotten more epic powder days than we have sunny park days. All of the shots are from lift accessed terrain at Mammoth Mountain and June Mountain.
Shot entirely on GoPro HD.
Songs:
The Radio Dept. – Heavens on Fire
Wolf Gang – The King and All of His Men (Kid Adrift Remix)
Over 20 members of the USC Ski & Snowboard Team head to Santa Teresa, Costa Rica for spring break 2010. We take a break from the mountains to pick up surfing in the 85 degree water, and enjoy a week of sunshine and good friends.
Song: Fever Ray – I’m Not Done (R/D’s Just Beginning REMIX)
With all of our competitions done and another beautiful day in Sunday River, Maine, the whole SoCal group (UCSB, FSU, UCLA, and LMU) got steezed out and hit the park. Decked out with ghetto clothes, flannel shirts and tight jeans, we were quite the group to see. Unfortunately, Mike Scinto went down after taking the last jump to the flats and we all wish him the best in his recovery.
Spending our free time on the mogul course
With Slopestyle and Halfpipe finished, only one event remained; the intense discipline of SkierX. With four people on one course, coupled with jumps, rollers, and banked turns, SkierX is by far, the most nerve racking of all the events at Nationals. What makes the competition even more difficult is the amount of racers that enter.
Ben, you are so fuerte!
After an epic night of celebrating for Matt Cook winning halfpipe, we had to wake up early to practice for slopestyle. The format was the same as halfpipe with the top three scores qualifying in the first run for finals and 4-15 qualify for the second round. In the second round, only the top three qualify for finals, making it a six person showdown.
With 18 of us crammed in one room and after a long night of partying, someone woke up at 5:30 am and started cooking. Despite being absolutely exhausted from traveling the whole day before and socializing that night, we actually ended up getting to the chairlift 25 minutes before it opened. Today was the halfpipe competition and we started hiking it early to get our runs dialed.
Packing up the Soccer Van at the little Maine Airport
After traveling all through the night and then renting the sickest soccer mom van in history and driving 4 more hours, we made it to our gloomy and desolate destination of Sunday River, Maine. Before checking into our hotel, we registered for our events and hit the Sunday River Brew Co. Over the next five days, we will be participating in several events that make up the Freestyle Overall Competition for USCSA Nationals. This year we brought 6 individuals to nationals, let’s meet the team!
